Answer 2

Yes. The pharynx is divided into 3 parts:

Nasopharynx - the first/uppermost portion of the pharynx, where the pharynx meets the nasal cavity. It serves a respiratory function only.

Oropharynx - is the second/middle portion of the pharynx, where the pharynx meets the oesophagus. It serves both a respiratory and digestive function as both air and food pass through this region of the pharynx

Laryngopahrynx - is the third/lowermost portion of the pharynx, where the pharynx meets the larynx. It too serves both respiratory and digestive functions as both air and food pass through it.

Answer 3

Yes, the pharynx serves both digestive and respiratory functions. It is a passageway for air to travel from the nasal cavity to the larynx during breathing, and it also serves as a pathway for food and liquids to move from the mouth to the esophagus during swallowing.
